Imagine that a important file was corrupted or erased from your disc. You don’t have backups. Vista can still try to save the day! The default behavior of Vista is to use up to 15% of your internal hard drive space to make copies of important files: it include mainly Windows files but also files in your user profile.
Not as flashy or as complete as Apple’s version, but could save the day. And no, this isn’t Microsoft copying Mac OSX features as this one can be found since Windows Server 2003.
Also, in more personal news, using the new VMWare 6.5 with a paravirtualized kernel allowed me to finally have a Linux virtual machine that doesn’t seems to eat CPU cycles when it’s doing nothing. (Still eat half a gig of RAM, time to upgrade to Windows x64…)
